Less than two hours before tip-off, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Mo Bamba (left ankle soreness) would be out for Game 1 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
Bamba, who previously missed several weeks with a high ankle sprain in the same leg, played just more over 10 minutes total in the first round against the Grizzlies. After checking into Games 1 and 2 for 30 seconds of mop-up duty apiece, Bamba played nine minutes and 10 seconds of garbage time in the closeout Game 6.
